I was laughing and at the same time vomited while reading this piece of news. It's so funny although this issue involving ones faith is hardly a funny matter. But I don't know how Mr Nazri got appointed to be the Minister in the first place, his is so ignorant and constantly putting his feet into his own mouth so to speak.
Okay now our fellow East Malaysian Christians are "allowed' to use the word Allah. But, but I thought the High Court has already ruled on this matter that the Home Ministry's ban is not legal? So, High Court Judgment is not recognised here and it must be allowed by a Minister before the ruling is allowed to be implemented? I am really confused.
The Star also reported:
Mr Nazri also said, "Similarly, they must respect the sensitivities of those in the peninsula, who are uncomfortable with the use of the word by non-Muslims, and not use the word here...".
“But when they are in semenanjung (peninsular Malaysia), then they must respect our custom here, which means that you cannot use the word ‘Allah’, because people here cannot accept it,” he said, referring to the growing number of people from Sabah and Sarawak who have moved to the peninsula.
Wow, wait a minute, are you saying that the authority is going to catch whoever is using the word when they are here? I think he is talking cock. Pardon me for using the c word. But I am just amazed by Nazri's intelligent if he ever has one. How on earth the Government is going to implement this ruling. Follow every East Malaysian Christians? Using mind detector? Please somebody, invent one! Malaysian Government will award you with a contract that worth billion of USD and on top of that a Tun title.
The following is even more bizarre...
“We must respect each other. When I go to east Malaysia, I have to respect their customs. So when they come here, they also have to listen. That is only fair,” he said, adding that copies of the Bible containing the word “Allah” needed to be changed when used in the peninsula.
I am eager to see how this can be done. Do you expect the EM Christians to have two types of Bible? Or that they have to bring with them a few thousand sticker with Tuhan written on it to be pasted on Allah while here? There must be hell lot of work to do, East Malaysians!
This is even more puzzling...
The same, he said, should apply to the peninsula orang asli. “They have to use Bibles in English or their mother tongue.
So when comes to ones own faith, National Language does not apply? It just does not make sense. I am not going to comment some more. I think the UMNO led BN Government has created a mess of their own. Peace loving Malaysians have not in any way caused or contributed to this mess.
We are told to support the Government's 1 Malaysia project, but clearly the BN ruling party does not believe in it at all. The way I see it, the Govenment is only believe in divide and rule. Because this will benefit UMNO the most.
